Introduction
The College of Law houses a research institute, a legal aid clinic, a distance learning school for legal practice, and a number of specialised centres and institutes. These centres and institutes offer short learning programmes (SLPs), sometimes better known as short courses, and provide you with the latest academic knowledge in a eld where being current is absolutely critical. And nowhere is the need to be up to date and on the ball more evident than in the eld of business. Our Centre for Business Law offers SLPs that focus on areas such as tax, labour, estates and pension funds, and the laws that govern these areas. Whether youre an academic, a professional such as a lawyer or an accountant, or simply an interested party, we will equip you with all you need to understand this eld in its current state. In a world where the rights of refugees are often ignored, our VerLoren van Themaat Centre offers short courses that help our students develop an understanding of Humanitarian Support Law, and Provincial and Local Government Law. Likewise, the Centre for Criminological Sciences furnishes our students with detailed knowledge in areas ranging from anti-corruption and commercial crime to security practice and management. Finally, our Programme in Law is aimed at anyone who has an interest in the subject and wants to learn more, but isnt yet qualied.
